Two major entanglements
Qian Wenchang not only hired Old Ye and Tang Zhendong as feng shui consultants for their company, but also gave Zhang a card worth one million. Originally, Qian Wenchang's intention was to exchange the 200,000 yuan consultant fee directly into cash, but Old Ye waved his hand in refusal, promising to provide free service to Qian Wenchang's company for a year, letting him see the effect.
Qian Wen-chang certainly believed in the abilities of Ye Dashi and Xiao Tang Dashi, but as for Ye Dashi's persistence, he couldn't say anything because after all, it was saving himself money.
Lao Ye's study of human nature is very profound, he has earned nearly two million from Qian Wen Chang, which is absolutely beyond his expectation. Lao Ye is not greedy for money, but even if there is a lot of money, it must be earned with a clear conscience.
Having earned so much from others, it's only right to give them some discounts at the right time, just like buying things. Buying one or two pieces might be at the original price, but if you buy 180 pieces, the store owner will proactively offer you a wholesale price.
Although being a feng shui master is a lucrative profession, one cannot just grab money at the sight of it. One must be good at casting a long line to catch big fish and not let clients think that you are someone who only has eyes for money; sometimes, one needs to be generous.
Besides, if the consulting services provided by Qian Wen-chang himself can indeed effectively increase the profits of Qian Wen-chang's company, then for a company with an annual output value of hundreds of millions and a profit of nearly ten million, it would be easy to pay a consulting fee of 18 million.
Qian Wen-chang's company is a technology company, emphasizing that science and technology are the primary productive forces. It sells high-tech products that concentrate brainpower and wisdom, rather than labor-intensive products. The prospects for this type of company are also relatively good. Old Ye has confidence in his heart that even if he didn't provide Qian Wen-chang's company with any effective suggestions, a technology company like this wouldn't lose money. In normal circumstances, the profits should also steadily increase.
It was precisely because Lao Ye had such double insurance that he agreed so readily with Qian Wenchang.
。。。。。。。。。。
"Xiao Tang, I've found that since partnering with you, our wealth has been pouring in. Admirable, admirable!" Old Ye couldn't help but feel a little envious as he walked back from the Qian family's luxurious mansion.
"Good things, wealth and prosperity are coming in, this is definitely a good thing."
"Xiao Tang, I have a proposal. Shouldn't we set aside some of the money as company reserves? In case we need it urgently and can't find it."
"We're not spending any money, there's basically no place to spend it, so," Tang Zhendong was about to say none, but suddenly thought of something, "Right, shouldn't we buy a car? Let me put it this way, if we go out to get our fortunes told in a car, wouldn't that be more impressive for our master's image?"
Lao Ye thought for a moment, Tang Zhendong's suggestion was indeed reasonable. Now they were targeting people with money, and they couldn't always let others come to pick them up, driving themselves would show more status. Moreover, some feng shui items needed to be purchased urgently, driving would save time, and if something wasn't right, it could be put in the car afterwards. This was a practical need, but mainly for showing off.
"Right, Xiao Tang, that makes sense. Why don't we just use this one million as the company's start-up capital and take out some money to buy a car? It'll be more convenient for us to go out and do business."
"Haha, okay, but why do we need to spend some of the money on buying a car? Why not just use all of it and buy a 1 million yuan car? If we drive out in a 100,000 yuan car, they'll only offer us a price of around 10,000 yuan. But if we drive out in a 1 million yuan car, they won't even dare to offer us less than several tens of thousands of yuan. In the future, our main clients will be big bosses like Qian Wen-chang, not small bosses who do too much and lower our value, just like Da De's case. From now on, we'll only take on big projects, three years without opening a shop, and when we open one, it'll last for three years."
Lao Ye was initially puzzled by Tang Zhendong's words, feeling that he was a prodigal son who didn't know how to manage his money properly. However, after careful consideration, Lao Ye found some logic in Tang Zhendong's words. If one small task could earn 10,000 yuan, it would take 200 tasks to earn 2 million yuan. Assuming one task per day, it would take 200 days to complete. But which task can be completed in just one day? Take the small boss of Xianhua Wedding Company, Wu Kun, for example. Lao Ye and Tang Zhendong had waited at least a week for him to finish one task, earning over 10,000 yuan. At this rate, even if they worked tirelessly throughout the year, they could only complete 50 or 60 tasks, earning around 500,000 to 600,000 yuan at most.
But looking at Qian Wenchang's move, it also took about a week to complete the task, but the income increased by more than 100 times. In just seven days, he earned nearly two million yuan. This speed of making money makes Old Ye feel like he is still in a dream.
It can be seen that the time required for big and small tasks is not much different, so Tang Zhendong's words are very reasonable: only doing big tasks, one after another, half a month to complete, isn't it still earning tens of millions a year? Moreover, the most important thing is that there are eleven and a half months of idle time.
Comparing two things, one is busy but gains little, the other is leisurely yet prosperous, wise people know how to choose.
And even if there's no other business for the whole year, isn't there still the 200,000 yuan consulting fee from Qian Wenchang's company? If things go well, that 200,000 might become 300,000 or even 500,000 next year. Even if things don't go well, Qian Wenchang knows his own abilities and those of the two of them, so he'll probably continue to support them rather than cutting ties abruptly.
"Alright, Little Tang, I support you. It seems that I'm really old and can't open up my mind anymore. From now on, when we go out, I'll be the master, but you'll be in charge of this company!"
Tang Zhendong burst out laughing, "It's just our two-man company, what's there to manage? Are you afraid I'll be late or am I afraid you'll be late? It doesn't matter even if we both play hooky all day. Besides, have we decided whether to register a company or go for individual business ownership? Ah, wait, are we setting up a company or an individual business?"
"Our original plan was to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, whether it's an individual or a company doesn't matter. But now that we've decided to only take on big clients' business, let's just set up a company, this way it will also make people feel more trustworthy."
Lao Ye rarely had an open-minded idea, Tang Zhen Dong quickly agreed. In fact, these things are insignificant. Feng Shui masters traveling the world mainly rely on real talent and learning. Relying on deception to cheat will not last long.
"What car to buy?" This is a tangled thing for Tang Zhendong, but he suddenly thought of an even more tangled thing. "Neither I nor Old Ye can drive, who will drive after buying the car? Can't we just hire a driver? Buying a car worth 180 million, if you hire someone to drive, you can't help but feel heartbroken."
